The "Thomas Laxton" Pea. 



THE AMEER PEA. 



This variety of blue-seeded Peas is distinct and produces 

 its handsome pods in pairs. It is an early variety, and, like all 

 other round, smooth-seeded Peas, is quite hardy, and can be 

 planted very early in the spring. It is also a good variety for malc- 

 ing repeated sowings for succession, as it is not affected by the 

 early summer heat. The vines, which grow from 3 to 4 feet high, 

 are very thrifty and good bearers. The pods are dark green, large, 

 curved and very broad, always "well filled with large Peas. The 

 quality is all that could be desired, being sweet and tender. The 

 large size and handsome deep green color of the pods make it a 

 good variety for market purposes, bringing high prices. Pkt., 

 10 CIS.; pt., 20 cts. (postpaid, 28 cts.); qt., 35 

 cts. (postpaid, 50 cts.); 4qts.,§1.25; peck, 

 §2.00. 



GIANT SUGAR PEA. 



Sweet, Sugary and Melting. 



A new variety, bearing mammoth size 

 pods. See page 48. 



NE^V PEA 



Tlie "Thomas Eaxton." 



Two years ago we received a small sample 

 of this Pea for trial from England from the 

 originator, Mr. Thomas Laxton, who also 

 originated many of the large podded Peas 

 on the market at the present time. We were 

 veiy much pleased with the results of our 

 trial, and found it to be an extremely early 

 variety, ripening fully as early as the well- 

 known " Gradus " and producing pods and 

 peas fully as large. The plant is a very 

 hardy and strong grower, producing the 

 extra large size pods in abundance. The 

 quality is delicious, and cannot be sur- 

 passed by any other variety. The "Thomas 

 Laxton " will mature fully as early as any of 

 the extra early smooth Peas, and being a 

 wrinkled sort is much sweeter. When this 

 variety is thoroughly introduced it will com- 

 mand equal attention with "Gradus," which 

 has been the leading variety for several 

 years past. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts. (post- 

 paid, 38 cts.); qt., 50 cts. (postpaid, 65 cts.)j 

 4qts.,$1.75; peck, $3 00. 



CARTER'S DAISY, OR 

 DWARF TELEPHONE PEA. 



This is a dwarf variety, bearing large, handsome pods like 

 Telephone, but without long vines, and grows more dwarf than 

 Stratagem. It is of dwarf, stocky habit, healthy, vigorous 

 growth and very productive. In season, medium, from 5 to 7 

 days earlier than Stratagem. The pods are long, frequently 

 measuring 5 inches in length, broad, rounded or curved at the 

 end, remarkably well filled; color pale green, thick and of good 

 lasting quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt.. 25 cts. (postpaid, 33 cts); 

 qt.. 40 cts. (postp.aid, 55 cts.); 4 qts., $1.50 ; peck, $2.50. 



CHINESE GIANT 

 PEPPER. 



This most desirable variety, of recent in- 

 troduction, is undoubtedly the largest sweet 

 Pepper ever offered. The extremely large 

 size of the Peppers is a great surprise and de- 

 light to all who grow them. The plant is of 

 strong, vigorous growth, about 2 ft. high when 

 fully grown, and a very prolific bearer of the 

 large Peppers, which set closely towards the 

 bottom of the plant. Tlie Peppers grow 

 much larger than the Ruby King, which, 

 heretofore, has been a favorite variety, and 

 are of a bright scarlet color when ripe. The 

 flesh is quite thick, verv mild and remark- 

 ably sweet, without the least trace of firiness. 

 They give much better and more satisfactory 

 results from having a long season of growth, 

 therefore the plants should be set out as 

 early in spring as practicable. Our sup- 

 ply of seed of this varietv is so limited that 

 we can only offer it by the packet this sea- 

 ion. Pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
